Do not forget that some kids are much better at getting those A+ consistently in many unrelated classes than getting those very high standardized test scores. Slow(er) readers are one example. These people are making logical connections, thinking thru while reading. It makes studying for classes very efficient, but absolutely does not work during long standardized tests. Verbal portion is always a problem. Those kids are killing the curve in their classes until prof. realize that they should not be even included in a curve. And not all of them locking themselves in the room studying forever. In fact, they are very opposite, they know how to study efficiently. Some of them are not admittable to very top programs because of their slightly lower standardized scores mostly because of Verbal (Reading) section.
